Newbie question, but who is user robzombie4551 on youtube? He has several videos running an ATT, HX40, WTA intercooler, and several tunes as well. Who is it?

 
Member rob zombie on several of the 6.5L forums. He hasn't been here recently, but I'm sure you can still find some of his threads.
 
Perhaps the statement of 'Many of the threads' is unfair. Do only recall a few threads where those specific ones were less than mature and appeared agenda based rather balanced.
 
A lot of people that have been in this community longer than me refer to a bunch of different well known people. I wasn't sure if this guy was someone who tunes or not. His videos were relatively impressive IMO

If we are going to bait the trolls lets bait them and sit back and watch the foaming at the mouth drama again. This forum will shut down LLY cooling threads and I strongly suggest this gets shut the hell down NOW! We got plenty of old threads and it's not worth rehashing. Unless we need the drama?

He has made it harder for 6.5ers to understand the turbo size difference over the small GMx turbo and the large A Team Turbo he has a clear agenda against. More or less turbo's have an RPM powerband they are best in. This is 0-2200 RPM for a GMx, ~2000 - couple hundred RPM below redline HX40II, 2000 - past redline for the ATT. Further my dyno runs show a HX40II at 24PSI boost has nearly the same power as an ATT at 14 PSI of boost. Sadly the factory converter is setup for lugging and most owners have a hard time wrapping their heads around "rev up the 6.5 high speed diesel for power" as they are used to lugging the GMx under 2K RPM.

The early marketing hasn't helped the situation any. So keep his 'anything but an ATT turbo' agenda in mind when reading through his stuff and videos. Interestingly enough one of the little known first aftermarket turbos for the 6.5 has similar performance to the ATT and there is no mouth foaming from him about peninsulardiesel's offering.

Plenty of turbos out there to choose from for your 6.5 vs. the old days of just a turbomaster. Others may have been first, but, the first turbo to break through and be popular was the ATT. Many others followed and improved trade-offs the ATT had in different uses. Frankly there are better sources of information than him including our new and older site vendors.

I have yet to see anything baiting trolls as you put it. If it becomes such, it will get shut down. But at this point in time it is a newer member that joined AFTER the time of all the ATT drama asking what appears to be an honest question. I for one have moved past what happened, and would hope they have as well. We are well aware of this thread, and will be wathcing it closely so as to prevent another storm. If the members spoken of decide to come back and post, as far as I'm concerned they are welcome to here so long as it is kept civil. If they come here and start a war, it will be dealt with, and as far I'm concerned it will be dealt with swiftly AND abruptly. So as far as I'm concerned, everythings good for now.
 
Anyone with the ATT and OBD1 can get a chip from Leroy, it is burned by Slim Shady (Dennis). I like my tune, it could have some fine tuning I but don't want to pull it.
 
Okay haha well I had no idea this was the response I would get.
1. Dennis = Slim Shady (lightbulb moment!)
2. I haven't been here long enough to familiarize myself with the previous drama that has gone on. Please forgive my ignorance. I was not baiting anyone. I came across the videos and wanted to know who's who.
3. I have a Heath tune Jay :)

Thanks for the replies everyone.

And for those who don't know, I am in the process of outfitting my truck with an ATT and potentially a tune.
 
As was said, I do not think the OP was trying to start anything. So lets leave the past in the past, and MOVE ON. If those other people want to come in and post, I'm personally fine with it. Just let it be known I for one will come down in a hurry if any of those OLD wars re-erupt. So lets let the past go, and move forward. If the member in question decides to post details, he is allowed to do so just like any other member here for all I'm concerned so long as it is done in a CIVIL manner.

Definitely do the tune otherwise it will not run well (it will run, but not optimized).

Even though Heath has a tune for the ATT, consider going with KOJO as the fuel curves come from real-world experience and not theory.

Also, do not recommend going with the power levels that I am running unless you are positive that the motor is up to them.

Come on, thats the fun part. Doesn't everybody like to play roulette everytime they touch the throttle? Will it live will it live, come on baby, DADDY NEEDS YOU TO LIVE!

And if it does it's only $1500 for a 6.2 surplus engine. Rings, oil cooler, misc parts and back up for $2000-2500. Plus you get an entry into the carnage thread. http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/6-5-carnage.39865/

Even tried to melt one down at 1550 EGT sustained and can say EGT limit numbers are a myth, but, ECT of 210 is a hard limit...

Had mine up to 1300 for a second or 2... it sees 1100 pretty often. One thing I will note is that 210 is a common occurrence with the HX35 but not the ATT...
 
I don't think 210 is such a bad temp myself. Is it ideal, no, but detrimental, defiantely not. PLENTY of peopel run there 6.5's up to 210, and soem beyond without any problems. I think the combination of 210 PLUS high EGT's would be a bigger killer than anything else. Also keep in mind that earlier 6.5's and all the 6.2's are more suscepteable to heat damage to the pistons. Starting in 97 with the 506 block, GM added piston oil sprayers to cool the underside of the pistons, thus allowing them to run higher temps without problems.
